This is from a FOWLR tank. Only this 1 rock have the most algae since it at the top of the aquascape. I think its bryopsis. Can anyone confirm?
Also, the reddish tint on the rock, its coralline algae, correct? I always assume it is but hey you never know.
Considering a couple of options:
1. Peroxide dip and brush off as much as I can
2. Put the rock in a 5g bucket with powerhead and cover for 2 weeks
3. Put all rock in the 5g bucket with powerhead and cover for 2 weeks. I only have 5-6 rocks, so it should fit. The fish may not like it though.
4. Using bottle bacteria like Vibrant or Microbacter Clean
5. Get more CuC. Only have 2 hermit in the tank. In the past, most Cuc will not last long, likely starve to death after cleaning up the algae. This is a small 15G tank with light aquascape.
What would you do?
The algae is likely due to using tap water for water change for a couple of months, due to my ro system failure. Its fix now, and i'm back to using RO water. No DI though. TDS <5ppm.
Thanks
